If yes, congratulations, you have a coin minted over two thousand years ago I don't know anything about them, though (I just felt that's what these look like), so couldn't comment any more; hope someone more knowledgeable comes around Report this Post to the Staff
pdm12772 Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 11:29 am Wow! I hope your right. I have a few others I got a long time ago also. Similar...Copper color and one or two more silver. That would be so awsome. I am finally going through some of my stuff and finding out I had a hidden stash of cool stuff.Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

See these zeno.ru pages for numerous similar examples. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
